Estate
Jean-Pierre Boisson, former long-serving mayor of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, runs Domaine Père Caboche with his children Emily & Nicolas. Members of the Boisson family have been both winemakers and blacksmiths for generations. The family nickname of Caboche derives from the old Provencal word for ‘horseshoe nails’.
Vinification
These vineyard plots are from the legendary pebbles of la Crau and les Serres. After picking and sorting by hand, the harvest is pressed immediately to retain freshness. The fermentation starts after the pressing, at low temperature 16 celsius. No malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is then bottled shortly after resting to retain all its brightness and aromas.
